> Any reasonably smart company will invest in its employees. They should absolutely be training you to be better programmers while you are on the job. Only shit companies would refuse to do so. The latter represents a mindset that's prevalent at a large portion of companies. Most companies aren't FANNGS or AAA Game Studios (w/e) looking for the best of the best, most companies are outsourcing a large portion of work and/or are speeding to the bottom of the quality race. Many aren't even in any position to judge competence, nurture it, or reward it. They just want "5 years experience" in whatever Cloud crap and Java thing.
